Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will force a House of Commons vote to have the prime minister’s top adviser, Katie Telford, testify before the ethics committee about her knowledge regarding election interference.

All opposition party members on the Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC) already support a motion to order Telford to testify, but Liberal members on the committee have twice delayed a vote on the matter by speaking in turn for hours during meetings.
